Termite Treatment Options Blacktown NSW – Emergency Residential Exterminators

A termite examination is the primary step in termite management

Termites and the termite swarm have been part of our natural world for millions of years. Also commonly called white ants they are resilient and persistent, being found, usually, in every 3rd property.

Australian conditions are especially ideal for termites. The Australian standard recommends that a termite examination be performed every 12 months and regularly in high risk areas.

Baiting or Cleaning Is our First Line of Defense

Termite baiting does not involve spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are positioned in particular areas around your home and when termite activity is found, baits are positioned inside the existing stations. The termite bait used is non-chemical that contains an active ingredient, so effective that only a small amount is needed. Termites ingest the bait and bring it to back the colony where they share it with other termites.

The Other Initial Choice Is:

Termite dusting is the very first stage of a termite treatment as it entails using active termites. Sydney’s Castle Hill Pest Controluse Termidor Dust which is non-repellent and is 95.5% food alpha cellulose, the very same product used as the food source in most of the termite bait systems.

To Apply Termidor Dust: Little holes are made in plagued timber or directly onto termite tracks. Using a small puffer, fine dust is puffed directly onto termites within the infested timber, these holes are covered to seal the workings, to prevent any dust escaping and to reduce disturbance of the termites.

The termites will continue togo about their regular activities long enough to transfer the Termidor Dust to unsuspecting termites within the colony. It will generally take 3-6 weeks for the colony to be impacted by the dust.

Termite dusting however does not provide an on-going protection to a building from future termite attacks. There may be more than one termite nest within striking distance and termites are constantly developing new nests.

This is why a termite soil treatment is critical following termite dusting.

2nd Stage of a Termite Treatment

Termite Soil Treatment: Termite soil treatments are the preferred choice for getting rid of termite invasions. Nevertheless, soil treatment does depend upon the building design of your home and can be discussed with the specialist on the day of the termite examination.

Termite soil barrier treatments are applied to soil areas in which the structure is in contact with including:

• Subfloor.
• 
  Concrete slab borders.
• External wall borders.
• Application of soil treatment.

If the distance between the soil and flooring woods is greater than 400-mm the soiled areas within the subfloor are trenched and dealt with. In any case we normally choose to treat the entire of the subfloor. This increases surface area coverage in the subfloor and therefore increases the likelihood of termites coming into contact with Termidor.

Concrete borders are drilled at around 20 to 30-cm centres (1.2-cm holes), injected and re-concreted, as if nothing occurred.

These areas might include:.

• Patios.
• Courses.
• Garages.
• Fireplaces.
• Bathrooms.
•  Laundries.
• External Boundary Walls.
• Soiled areas will be trenched or rodded.
• Concrete areas will be drilled.

There Are Two Main Kind Of Soil Treatments:.

Repellent: Repellent termiticides work by producing a termite hazardous barrier around a home. The treated areas end up being a no-go zone for termites. In order to work correctly, these termiticides require to be applied in an unbroken zone around the structures. This can be difficult to attain due to the building and style of your home and if there is concrete against your house. Repellent termiticides are primarily used throughout the pre-construction stage.

Non-repellent: With non-repellent termiticide, termites are not able to spot that a location has been treated and hence do not avoid the treated area. When the termites travel through the termiticide, they make contact with the active ingredient, return to the colony and infest the unsuspecting termites, which will result in their extermination.

Castle Hill Pest Control offers a 5-year warranty on non-repellent treatment. Conditions do apply and are subject to the house structure and style.

Termite Baiting & Tracking Systems.

Termite baiting does not involve spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are positioned in particular areas around your home and when termite activity is found, baits are positioned inside the existing stations. The termite bait used is non-chemical that contains an active ingredient, so effective that only a small amount is needed. Termites ingest the bait and bring it to back the colony where they share it with other termites.

The monitoring and baiting is a complete system that includes

• Placing monitoring stations into the ground around the entire external boundary of the property.
• 
  Placing special stations inside the structure if there are active termites.

Termite baiting systems work extremely well, and when a nest is eliminated or managed, the termite monitoring stations will continue to secure your home against new termite activity. The approximated time of colony removal is 3– 6 months.

For the most part your home is the most pricey item you might own; don’t let it be eaten away by termites!
